Robinson selected to FIBA Hall of Fame

Former Spurs star David Robinson has been selected to the FIBA Hall of Fame, the organization announced Monday.

Robinson, the first American basketball player to compete at three Olympics, is one of the most decorated players in U.S. international history, winning two Olympic gold medals and a bronze. He was also part of the 1986 world championship team, when the U.S. was still represented by college players.

That changed in 1992 as Robinson joined a host of other NBA stars on the fabled Dream Team to recapture the Olympic gold medal in Spain. He added a second gold at the 1996 games, where he was the U.S.’s leading scorer with 12.0 points per game.

Robinson is the U.S. Olympic record-holder for rebounds and blocked shots, and ranks second in scoring. He was inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992.

Robinson will be enshrined in the FIBA hall alongside legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt and four-time Olympic gold medalist Teresa Edwards in a ceremony on June 19. Australian Andrew Gaze, who played 19 games for the Spurs in 1998-99, is also part of the class.
